iLO 2 MP Reset Button
The iLO 2 MP Reset button enables you to reset the iLO 2 MP and reset the user-specific values
to factory default values. A momentary press causes a soft reset of the iLO 2 MP when the button
is released. A greater than four second press causes a soft reset of the iLO 2 MP upon release and
resets local user accounts and passwords to factory default values.
Resetting Local User Accounts and Passwords to Default Values
If iLO 2 MP user passwords are lost, or iLO 2 MP local user accounts are disabled and logging
in through LDAP directory server is unsuccessful because the directory server is down or directory
settings have not been configured properly in LDAP command, you can reset local user accounts
and passwords to their default values.
To reset local user accounts and passwords to default values, follow these steps:
1. Connect a serial terminal (or serial-cabled laptop with serial emulation) to the console serial
port.
2. Press and hold the iLO 2 MP Reset button for more than four seconds. The iLO 2 MP reboots
to factory default settings automatically.
3. Respond to the prompt to reset local user accounts and passwords to default values.
